I'm just put'n this out there, it might save a life.
My daughter was with us doing some shopping, there was a barrel full of kashews, she grab one, pop'd it in her mouth, my wife grabbed her arm but it was too late. She had a big smile while chewing it, she is 2 years of age and some change. She has eaten peanuts and many other tree nuts, never had a problem. 5 minutes later, she was screaming and crying like we have never seen or heard from her, we knew it was bad what ever it was, dialled 911. By the time the ambulance got there, she was puking and getting red patches around her face. Once we arrived at the hospital she was red all over her body like a lobster. Her pulse 70 when it should be like 130. Blue in the face and lips, they rushed her in. After all the meds given and her looking like she was about to pass, she started to come around, it was intense for me and my wife having to see her like that, her eyes rolling in back of her head marked me for life. Nobody in our family has any peanut allergies, so it was kind of a shock to us that she is allergic to kashews. I've been up all night, can't sleep, still freaked out by the day I had, been drinking the night away and thanking the man upstairs for being blessed to have her with us in our home safe and sound. Please introduce new foods with caution, even if you attempt to give a small chunk and wait to see the reaction, it might have the same big allergic reaction. Moral of the story is be ready when allowing your kids to eat new foods, don't get caught off guard in a remote area, no cell phone signal or just plane too far from a hospital while handing out new foods to your little ones. Peanut allergies, I would've never guessed! I would see the adds and think nothing of it! Blue to the sky, orange to the tigh! You could save a life!
Please use caution with your kids eating any kind of new foods! Be ready! We got caught off guard! Wish'n you all the best of luck with the journey with your little one's!
Kids have epi pen like adults! It is safe to use it but only if she/he is showing true signs of allergic reaction! Having trouble breathing or major rash starting. You must still bring them in to the Hospital after using it. It might be good for only 15 minutes and they might shows sign of a reaction again.
